What an iconic fight, one of my all time favorites, Jon Jones and Alexander Gustafsson tore the house down at UFC 165, Gus came to fight and man he pushed Jon to the limit, absolute warrior 👏👏👏

"If i take Gustafsson down, he will experience the worst ground and pound of his life"... that literally gave me goosebumps. I cant wait for this

3:20 Alexander called it lol

Can't wait for the rematch this coming December

"i can beat john jones, any day" unbeliveble he stood to his statements.

I never expected Gus to have the slightest chance against Jones but man did he hang in there. He really surprised me with this fight. Much respect to Gus and I'm not gunna lie I was nervous as shit for Jones because even thought I'm a big fan of Jones, Gus was clearly winning until his cardio failed him in the 4th and 5th rounds. I'm glad Jones is still the champion but not gunna lie if that was a 3 round fight Gus probably would have took it. They will have an amazing rematch one day!

Gus was the best competition for jones ever he even said that! In still won fair in sqaure!

kenny florini telles me nothing i dont already know every single time in these previews. love it

Lol Jones had almost a 5 inch reach advantage over Gus and still got his ass kicked!

I'm still waiting on Jones vs. Mousasi. I think that would be an awesome fight.

Gus was robbed...

man i love barao and his attitude

Thank you!

Exactly! And there is no rush for Jones to go to HW, he is still very young and is just now hitting his prime. He's got plenty of time to conquer multiple divisions.

each fight is bigger than the last, the UFC is growing so yeah :)

i love the tire behind bones for strongman flip

Jones is huge for his weight class and is probably the most dynamic fighter in the division as well, that's why hes the best. The reason why he can fight the way he does is probably due to his height and reach advantage too, gives him more options.

One of my favourite fighters vs a fighter from my home country! Cant wait! Heja Sverige! Go Gustafsson!

And ive been fan of jones in his debut before anybody knew him, i always go for my team jackson homeboys

Exactly. People act like he's so great and unique. Really its all just his reach and size. That allows him to manhandle everybody. He's really more of a strategist then a fighter.

"Man, that guy hits hard." EVERY. SINGLE. PROMO.

i want this to be a good enough fight for a series between these mammoths...

Renan Barao = The GOAT. People say Fedor was undefeated for a long time. Renan has the longest win streak in MMA and for 8 years!

This fight will be the part 1 of a great trilogy.

ill rly love to see jones outstrike alexander respect to both fighters both are awesome :D

I bought really expensive tickets because I want to see Barao/Wineland, that will be a sick fight. Seeing Jones demolish Gus is just a bonus.

I think Jones would still be one of the top fighters in the heavyweight division too, I can see him becoming the heavyweight champ. Even in the heavyweight division he still has a considerable reach advantage over everyone, when he beefs up he will be able to out wrestle a lot of heavyweights. I see 3 people who could potentially beat him Cain, JDS or Cormier... Jones vs Cormier would be a good fight, cause he is a top wrestler, got the speed and power and he's very athletic and unpredictable.

I think a lotta people are counting Alexander out way too early. I believe this will be the toughest fight job jones has had yet

Jones and Barao will both remain champions.

Eddie - "I'm not concerned at all with his quickness or his speed" Hahaha

I was just reading through this chain of comments. Actually they can. Especially if you add in liquids to rehydrate. Urijah Faber actually said after his last weighin that he put on like 22 lbs. & he's a Bantamweight!

As a swede and a huge gus fan, your paint-post still made me laugh.

it seems most fights now depend on who is reffing rather than what fighter actually wins

I used to dislike Jones but he's going to be a champion for a very long time...

I got Renan but I agree with you and the mustache.

and that is why he dominates. and the fact that hes strong as hell (leverage)

He's trying to argue that every fighter does that because of one welterweight fighter. The way Jones is, you can tell he doesn't add that much weight on. He's calculating every single things he does. He even said it.

Gustafsson won, Im happy over knowing that he's not that sad over the loss. He will crush Jones soon (again).

Yea, Jones still has a massive reach advantage on him. He's only an inch taller and that doesn't really even it out. Idk why they say they are extremely similar. Jones is also has more depth to his game and is much more technical, while Gustafsson's more of a brawler with a decent array of tools.

Gustaffson is a great fighter. Jon Jones is from another planet...

The very reason Jones is so great is because he's super fucking calm. His emotions and his nerves and shit don't dictate his fight. He's able to remain calm and calculate everything he does, he's not being affected by adrenaline in a negative way. Plus he's just a big ass dude, so when he is taking his shots calmly he's doing them from half way across the cage with his freaky limbs lol

BARAO REMINDS ME OF ALDO IMAGINE THEM 2 GOING AT IT

The best mma fighter ever bro ! ;)

1. Size and skill are two different things 2. He's definitely the most dynamic fighter in the division, but Anderson fights in a different weight class.

Hear! Hear! I agree wit this dude 150%, they are always making it seem like this is the most amazing card ever that will get the most payperview buys (UFC100 they may never top!) and will be historical! Its almost like they are trying way 2 hard 2 be like the NFL, NHL, MLB, NBA, NASCAR in promoting these events. Those sports groups do hype things also but from a different perspective, they focus more on players, stats, history, and such. I can see the UFC is jumpin on the stat train as of late!

Go Jones! You have a legacy ahead of you young man! Gustafsson isnt nearly as gifted or talented as Jones. Not only do I obviously think Jones will win, but I believe he deserves it much more.

Jon Jones is the best P4P fighter in the world! He is an incredible athlete, and what he has achieved in the sport over such a short period is unreal! I have a lot of respect for him as a fighter! I cannot see Gustafsson beating Jones, nobody in the LHW division can. The only person with a slight chance i thought was Machida, but after his loss to Davis, that looks like a no no. Bones has the division on lock and thrown away the key!

I do hope Gustaffson wins, I just hope he's ready to get back to his feet if Jones can take him down. Jones has a very clear advantage on the advancement of his grappling, but the difference will be in the striking. Jones will get close enough to clinch, throw elbows, a choke or a take down, while Gustaffson must circle and use his striking to clear that base of grappling and clinch game. I would also like to see Eddie Wineland win, guy has amazing striking, but I worry for his grappling.

You're right he doesn't weigh in at 220. They weigh in 24 hours prior to the fight. He dehydrates himself to make it to 205, then rehydrates himself after weighing in, weighing around 220 or more on fight day.

Bout time Jones have someone his size, height and arm length. This is the fight that'll give reason to why he's earned ownership of that belt so long

Pettis is gonna be the next Anderon Silva! Even though I think Wiedman could break the record for MW title defenses Pettis is gonna be the new A. Silva because he will defend the belt numerous times and do it in even more of an exciting fashion!

I was thinking that Jones is primarily a wrestler while Gustafsson is a striker. I wouldn't call him a "brawler," though, not even close. He's got great combinations that end in that devastating uppercut that is somewhat of his signature, and he is evasive with good foot work. He's always moving and attacking angles. He's been called the Dominique Cruz of light weight. It's likely not a coincidence. They train at the same gym.

All it takes is one strong punch to the jaw. Look at silva vs weidman. Gustaffson has proved more than once he has a one punch knock out power.

I think Lyoto should get another chance. Even though he got choke out last time, he gave Jones a challenge and got way better.

That was the best comment, hahahha. Totally agree with you, UFC promotions is just terrible.

I like the part when they say Gustafsson is taller than Jon Jones, and then they show a picture of their stare down and Jon Jones is taller than him.

Alexander will be a tough opponent but Jon jones is my favorite fighter. I think he got this.

Just because you can have to be a certain weight at a set given time... Which is not the case a day later when he gains nearly 20 pounds give or take.

i dont know if it is the ufc or youtube but the ufc's videos are always incredibly hard for me to watch... not starting, stopping randomly, not loading and god forbid you pause them someone please fix this

I think Jones has this one, his GnP is just to vicous!

i would love to see 2 new champs in one night

"They have a lot of similarities. They both have long reaches, they're both tall.." I would have never guessed...

Kenny's Joe Rogan impersonation is perfect.

Well we'll never know!!....when you respect your opponent...you will Win!!

Damn.... all of the guys Jones had beaten are elite fighters : Bader-The Janitor-Rampage-Rashad-Belfort-Vera-Sonnen-Gustaffson.....!!!!

I just hope this gets at least 3 rounds long, and JJ takes it easy.

it would be great to see gustafsson win but with the improvement rate jon shows with each fight, i expect jones to look even closer to becoming unbeatable than last fight, and on his way to becoming at least as unbeatable as one can be. gustafsson or someone has to catch him soon if its not too late already

agreed. Im not even gonna order this one. I love all fights but I feel its a no match. Ill wait for Glover and pay for that one.

My second favorite fighter because Jones is humble. First is Fedor!

The most damage Jones has ever taken is when he broke his own toe when out-wrestling Sonnen. That means that in the Octagon he's done more damage to himself than 13 opponents, including five world champions and ex-world champions have done. He's destroyed legend after legend and barely taken a punch. Belfort almost landed a sub but didn't, and Machida may have stolen a round, and in the absence of any thing else these are held up as great victories. GSP doesn't compare.

jon "the elbow" jones show is in its pure state, is a ruthless killer, it is technically superior to anyone, and then when it hits it hurts, for me is like Muhammad Ali for boxing .. same class .. I'm lucky to be able to see fight jon bones jones

"Maybe I'll be the first guy to take him down" -AG, I bet no one saw any hope in this

That mustache is alpha.

Thumbs up to show support for Wineland's brother.

Well of course it affects the fighters negatively, but you can't say they dont. It's extremely easy for those LHW & HW guys (probably MW too) to pack on the lbs after they've weighed in. People like Urijah Faber are just outliers in their weight division.

yeah. When D Cruz comes back, he can fight for the belt it aint going nowhere

Couldn´t agree more bro, as Barao said, he is the one training, fighting and defending the belt.. how low are they supposed to wait for Cruz??

I am rooting for Gustafsson, time to get a likeable LHW champ.

Jones is always the favorite but he just can't help to show that he doesn't seem to be a good person, no matter how hard he tries to hide it. That's likely why he won't get more popular than he is. A guy like he should sell more PPVs than he does. Some people have it, others don't. He has it in the cage but not at all outside it.

need to see the jones vs velasquez fight soon

Very interesting match up. Gustafsson definitely has the better boxing and hand speed.

I'm pumped.

and a phenomenal wrestler

Gustafsson took head kicks and spinning back elbows and still hung in there, i am not bias in either direction. Gustafsson won that fight hands down.

There is a huge difference between the two in terms of sheer skill. Watch both of their matches against shogun.

When you compare how Jones did against Sonnen and how Silva did against Sonnen, you get a picture of what might happen if they fought each other. Lets see how Silva does in his rematch with The Champion and how Jones does against someone his own size (AG) and then go from there. Those two fights might make a superfight obsolete.

I think in 3 Years Jones get the Heavyweight belt to ! He is the perfect Warrior !

Gustafsson has more chance of hopping up Mount Everest on one leg than taking that belt from Jones. He is just to good.

This will be the first time Jon Jones doesnt have a reach advantage like he allways does plus The Mauler does verything jon does they are very similar the only thing Jones has over The mauler is his wrestling ! IM EXCITED FOR THIS FIGHT

They can, but don't. That would negatively affect them in their fights. It's basic knowledge to not eat too much after making weight. Although some people do.

Or, Gus can get the fight to take place against the fence and work his Thai game and his dirty boxing in close quarters, thus eliminating the reach out of the equation and not giving JJ a chance to get a TD. But Gus has to be able to keep a constant aggression in each round in order for this strategy to work.

holy shit, seems movie. *-* So pumped.

This should be a great fight, Jones won't be able to play with him like he did with evans and rampage so it should be war, I want to see Jones come out like he did when he fought Shogun.

That was 3,5 years ago when Gustafsson was a part-time fighter. Gus is a much better fighter today.

I can See Gusstofson winning as long as he works on his take down defense. I don't think Jon Jones want to strike him the intire time just because they are both the same height.

Seriously, I think that is going to be the only option. The guy is just too good. It's hard for me to imagine though JJ fighting someone the size of Alistar Overream
